Question

Directions: Read the passage given below and then answer the following question.

Education is the most imperative segment out of different segments of a social foundation. The accomplished and appropriately prepared manpower can quicken the pace of monetary development. Despite our earnest attempts, our instructive improvement still stays at a low dimension. Half the country does not have access to proper education even today, and only a small fraction can access higher education.

 

Which of the following substantiates the given passage?

(I) India needs to embrace the internet and technology if it has to teach all of its huge population, the majority of which is located in remote villages.

(II) Our education system today encourages excellence in students and teachers.

(III) We may have the most number of engineering graduates in the world that has been translated into much technological innovation in every aspect of the life of every citizen here.

1. Only II
2. Only III
3. Only I and III 
4. Only I 
5. All of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Only I 

The first statement (I) states that India needs to utilize the internet and technology if it has to teach all of its population in remote villages. It is mentioned in the given passage that half the country does not even today have access to proper education, and only a small fraction can pursue higher education. Thus, this statement provides a solution to the problem expressed in the passage.

The second statement (II) does not substantiate the given passage as it is contradicting the given information.

The third statement (III) is not in line with the given passage as it claims that technological innovation is a part of every aspect of every citizen's life in the country which contradicts the fact that half the population is struggling to access proper education. It is highly unlikely that without proper education, one would be able to utilize technology in every aspect of their life.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct answer.
